In this paper we study the additive group structure of subdirectly irreducible rings and their hearts. We give and example of a torsion-free, non-reduced abelian group which is not the underlying additive group of any associative subdirectly irreducible ring. It is a counterexample to a theorem in Feigelstock's book “Additive Groups of Rings.”
